Xavier's POV

I sighed as I sat in my car with Luke, grateful that we had finished our shopping. How do girls do it? How can they shop for hours and not get tired? If I could, I'd like to salute them for this.

''Where are we going now?'' Luke spoke, clearly tired.

''Well, I guess we should head home.'' spoke Conner as he texted someone on his phone.

''Correct, and just remind me to never ever get married if we have to go shopping again,'' Zayn said making us all laugh. ''Yeah, me too.'' Luke huffed.

I was about to put the key in the ignition when my phone suddenly started buzzing. It was Ronner.

"What's up buddy?'' I said, trying not to show any sign of tiredness.

''Hey, sorry to disturb you, but an urgent meeting came up today, can you make it?'' He sounded worried.

''Today? Dude tomorrow's my wedding! Mom's going to kill me if she finds out.''

''Trust me, I tried telling him that but he wouldn't listen, he called me and said the meeting has to be today because he has a flight back tonight.'' His tone was serious.

''Is this meeting important?''

''Very.''

''Okay, I'll be there in half an hour. Get everything we may need but don't call Erica, let her have a day off today.'' I rubbed my face and sighed. Work always came in the way.

''Sure boss.'' Ronner laughed. What? Is thinking about my fiancé's comfort a bad idea? Deciding not to comment, I hung up.

''Guy's I guess there's been a slight change of plan.''

''What do you mean?'' Asked Luke.

''I have a meeting to attend, and it's very important,'' I said starting my engine.

''Are you crazy? Aunt Alison will kill you!'' Zayn spoke wide-eyed.

''Really? I didn't know!'' I replied sarcastically.

''Is it important bro?'' Conner asked,

''Yeah,'' I replied, ''I really don't want to go.''

''If it's important, you should go,'' Luke assured me with a smile.

''Yeah, I guess.'' I started the engine and drove straight towards my office building. I was currently going over and gathering the files Roner had collected for the meeting when he stormed into my office.

''Xavier!'' I could sense the fear in his voice.

''What happened? Are you okay?'' I got up from my chair.

''It's Erica, she wants to meet you. She called me and she sounded scared and I could sense that something is wrong. She called you outside the office, right now.''

Without a second thought, we both stormed out of the office and waited for her outside the office main door.

ERICA POV

This is worse than hell. My marriage wasn't supposed to turn out like this! It was supposed to be my dream wedding, with the guy I love the most. Someone I wanted to spend my whole life with. Yet it turned out like this. I folded the envelope and kept it inside my purse. I sat there in silence. Too many things were going through my mind, but my mouth kept shut.

''Hey! I've brought coffee!'' Alisha came back all smiling ''Erica? Hello! Earth to Erica?'' She waved her hand in front of me when I didn't answer.
